Dear Group Leaders,

Happy July 4th recess week -- our week-long window to show the country that we’re “one nation, indivisible,” and to remind our elected officials that we will accept nothing less than liberty and justice for all.

Last year at this time, we were all-in on stopping TrumpCare. Our members of Congress (MoCs) were heading home and shaking at the mere mention of Indivisibles at their town halls. We didn’t know for certain if we could really stop the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, but we knew that MoCs needed to hear from constituents in every. possible. way.

And that’s exactly what happened.

You marched in July 4th parades.

You showed up at town halls.

Indivisible Memphis, July Recess 2017

You asked the tough questions.

At every opportunity, your MoCs faced rooms packed with constituents asking difficult, career-altering questions. These actions turned the tide and helped us stop TrumpCare once and for all.

We have new fights this recess, and our commitment and our passion to see big fights through -- like #EndFamilyDetention and #SaveSCOTUS -- is as strong as ever.

Activist to-dos for the week

Here’s this special Recess Week edition of actions to share with your group members and supporters. Copy, paste, or screenshot to share our list far and wide!

1) #EndFamilyDetention.

Today, tens of thousands of Indivisibles and progressive allies are showing up at more than 700 events nationwide to demand an end to family detention and to demand the reunification of families separated at the border. Use this recess to show up at your MoC’s offices and tell them: families belong together, and free!

After you march this weekend, there are 62 (!!) #endfamilyseparation events and 48 town halls on our on our events map here. MoCs will be home until July 9 so there’s still time to plan and register an event on our map if there isn’t an event near you. We have a handy organizing toolkit to help you to pressure your MoCs to make a verbal commitment to end family separation.

2) #SaveSCOTUS.

Wednesday, Justice Kennedy announced he would retire from the Supreme Court -- and already GOP leaders are whipping votes for Trump’s pick. We won’t sugarcoat it: if Trump gets his appointment, we will see attack after attack in the courts to undo decades of legal progress.

We have a (narrow) path to stopping Trump's nomination: all Democrats must reject any nomination and two Republicans must join them (read the strategy here).

Read our resource to learn how to use local public events to get facetime with your Senators while they're home for the 4th of July. The ask for ALL Senators is the same: they must commit immediately to opposing anyone that Trump nominates from his shortlist. New Yorkers: pressure Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to hold Democrats together.

3) Let your MoC know: November is coming.

Election after election, we’ve shook districts, created major upsets, and moved primary candidates forward that were once deemed “too progressive” or “unwinnable.” And the biggest victories are still on the horizon -- but only if we get organized right now.

It starts with holding your members of Congress accountable. Make sure they know you’re watching, and you’ll remember how they voted when you head to the voting booth in just 5 months. Let them know that November is coming -- so get with your constituents, or we will vote you out.

Last call: Submit your candidates for this round of endorsements!

Our next round of IndivisiCandidates is shaping up to be our biggest yet, and we don’t want to miss a single nominee. If your group has made a local endorsement and you want to nominate a candidate for national consideration, you have until TONIGHT by 11:59pm ET to nominate a federal (House or Senate) or gubernatorial candidate for a national endorsement. Submit your nomination here to be considered in our next round.
